WATCH: Pixies release new video directed by bassist Paz

Cape Town - Pixies’ bassist Paz Lenchantin has put on her director’s hat for the band’s new music video.

The video is for the song Classic Masher from the new album Head Carrier.

The clip was shot in Los Angeles earlier in October and features Lenchantin’s father Mario Merdirossian as the pianist as well as three friends - Hannah Vandermolen (driver), Adelaide Crocker (middle seat) and Virginia Rand (red lips). Graffiti was created by Jules Muck "MuckRock."

Watch the video here:

Lenchantin, who has directed a number of short films and videos in the past, said about the Classic Masher video: "Mephistopheles, the mocking and sarcastic devil behind every classic masher...Besides that, who doesn’t like a talking piano?"

Pixies just wrapped a four-date "warm up" run in Southern California and will head to Europe on 15 November for a three-week tour, Leg One of the band’s 2016-2017 global trek. Pixies also head to South Africa in mid-March 2017. Click here for more details.
